4cd Set From Rock’n’roll Legend – In Clam Box Packaging

One of the few serious contenders to Elvis’ title of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Jerry Lee Lewis made his finest recordings during his early years with Sun Records. Whilst there he recorded prolifically, encompassing the diverse musical styles, including country, gospel, blues, hillbilly and R&B, which he had grown up listening to.

This deluxe 4-CD set distils the cream of Lewis’ peerless recordings made for Sun Records between 1956 and 1963 when he was at his creative peak. These 128 cuts from ‘The Killer’ changed the face of both Rock ‘n’ Roll and Country Music.

Each of the set’s four themed discs has been meticulously compiled and sequenced, each one being split into two contrasting musical genres to provide listening variety.

Discs one and two both feature a selection of scorching Rock ‘n’ Roll sides contrasted with country classics, whilst disc three concentrates on Lewis’ country side and includes, both rockers and ballads. The final disc comprises R&B standards and a pot pourri of other musical styles.

The set’s 36-page, illustrated booklet contains a detailed biography of Lewis’ career to date along with an illuminating track-by-track commentary from compiler Clive Anderson.

This set is an essential purchase for anyone seeking a comprehensive overview of Lewis’ historic years at Sun. (charly. co. uk)
